We also work to feed the needy, protect domestic violence survivors, counsel those suffering from mental health issues, supply resources for the intellectually challenged people and their care givers, give job counseling assistance, mentor youth, ensure Holocaust survivors are treated with dignity, and provide quality daycare for children.

Our History
In the early 1960s three forward thinking Jewish communal professionals spearheaded a movement to organize their work sites. They saw that conditions would not improve, and were likely to get worse, if they did not organize for power on the job.

The One Thing You Need To Know
